KUALA LUMPUR: The resignation announcement of Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department P Waythamoorthy (pix) on Saturday has put the spotlight on allegations that the government has failed to fulfill certain promises, especially for the Malaysian-Indian community.

HINDRAF will continue its struggle for the Indian poor to alleviate their poverty and regain their dignity and rights.

HINDRAF rose as the voice of the poorer segment of Indians in Malaysia due to growing disenfranchisement amongst the community with constant denial of access to opportunities due to acute economic and political mismanagement that is clearly manifested towards the marginalized Indians since the displacement of Indians from the estates since 1980.

The issues pertaining to the Indian community ranges from lack of programs for students from poor or financially deprived background, absence of laws to safeguards the socio-economic interest of the forcefully relocated estate workers, discriminative employment opportunity both in government and private sectors, the poor state of Tamil schools, arbitrary and insensitive handling of Hindu temples , religious matter such as conversion as well the ongoing negative profiling of Indians by the police authorities and the treatment received by them with selective persecution.

The above issue had expounded one truth, that the Indians have been systematically marginalized.
